It's not comfortable and my back hurts like hell
>>728923896Get a recliner. Maximum comfort.
>>728923896means you already fucked your back, gg
Told you to sit on the floor
>>728924113My back was fine before sitting on this. literally got diagonised by the doctor. perfectly normal spine.
you fucked your back before you go the chair. RIP should have cared about your spine health years ago. it's like quitting smoking after you already got cancer then acting surprised it didn't go away kek
>>728924323>>728924278
>>728924265are there any special pillows designed for this?
>>728924416why would your doctor "diagnose" a perfectly normal spine? why would you ask the doc to check if you had no back issues? hold the L idiot. you fucked up. a herman miller isn't going to work a miracle
get yourself one of these
>>728924481Health check up you fucking idiot. why the hell would I lie about this i need a genuine advice for this piece of shit chair
>>728924614are you an 11 year old Russian girl?
The only good chairs are made for morbidly obese people or 12 hour shifts of sitting. Nothing herman miller is worth it.
>>728924629the quack you saw doesn't know what he's talking about. you have 2 choices1. return the chair and buy something else. do NOT buy a steelcaseor2. fix your posture and start exercising
>>728923896larpwhy larp about chairs anon
“Ergonomic” chairs are not comfortable, they never have been.
>>728923896Works fine for me.What actually gave me a bad back and shoulders was gaming chairs.
Put a little pillow behind your back, below your chest but above your ass. A game changer for me it was.
>>728923896I also thought they were good because of all the shilling until I actually got to use one at work... It's just a normal office chair. You can get a chinkshit office chair with practically the same functionality for 1/10 of the price.
watch how to set it up properlyyour "comfortable" is probably breaking your back

>he fell for itHerman memer is designed to keep wagies in stress positions so they don't do silly things like lose focus with thoughts of freedom and let productivity drop by 0.4%. They're not for relaxing and gaming in.

>>7289256274'10"
>>728923896Congrats you fell for the mesh chair scam, now sell it and buy a normal gaming chair.
>>728924614The racing chair design for a fucking gaming chair is such retarded nonsense. You're sitting in place, not taking turns. You don't need the side curves to keep you in place. All they do is compress your shoulders if the chair is small and nothing if it's big.
I've been using a mesh chair like in OP's pic for over 10 years now and I wouldn't have it any other way. I find it perfectly comfortable and the material breathes so I'm never too hot and I don't have to peel my sweaty ass off of it during my gooning sessions like you have to do with any other kind of chair.
>>728923896>my back hurts like helldo push ups/planks regularly.
>>728925892I do it 20 times per day 5 times per session
>>728925656skins are comfortable, I've wanted to try out floor-sitting recently but having to redo my whole desk space sounds annoying. maybe eventually
>>728923896Ergonomic chairs saved my back. I could never go back to those cushiony leather executive chairs. Are you trying to slouch in a chair designed to force you not to slouch?
>>728923896Did you adjust the lumbar support? Make sure chair height is good and feet are rested properly too.
>>728925730I bought Corsair TC-1000 last week, i had some IKEA chair like in the picture before, one of the better buys i've ever done.
>>728923896lose weight
>>728923896lmao I hope you got it for free like all the other shills did
>>728925730Steelcase amia if you're on the fence about how aggressive some of the ergonomics can be on these chairs. It's a nice happy medium, and you can put the lumbar support all the way down if you decide it's too much. Only negative is it has a cushioned fabric seat so it traps farts.
>>728925892Do not do push ups if you have posture issues, you'll overtrain your chest muscles which will cause your shoulders to point forward, which will make it even worse.
>>728926001I didn't touch that function. any video guide for this. I'm about 6'1 tall and bought the C.
>>728923896Because this chair is designed to be uncomfortable if you sit on it like a retard to get you to realign yourself and sit properly.
>>728925980If you do it, make sure the desk is high enoughMine is about 16 3/4" off the floor.Sounds too high, but floor sitting is really about moving into many different positions, and you need a good average height to accommodate that. If it's too long it'll be difficult to do things like slav squatting.And make sure you can fully extend your legs under the desk

>>728923896Still not sure if I want this or the steelcase leapNot that I can afford either since I'm a neet but I'll get a job one day!
>>728926430good to know>16 3/4"but what do you mean by this? maybe it's just a europoor moment

>>728926910I see, so I guess you meant 16 inches and 3/4s of one. I should've been able to guess that
>>728923896works on my machine
>>728924614An office chair is designed for you to sit in for hours on end in front of a computer.A bucket seat is designed to arrest lateral movement while cornering.Do you take a lot of 1g turns sitting in front of your computer?
>>728926920Why
>no headrestInto the trash it goes
>>728927614what sort of employer would be interested in some shut-in weirdo with no degree that hasn't had a job once in his life?
>>728927621Why would one need a headrest while sitting?
>>728925454>>728924656
>>728924656uhh, that sounds oddly specific.
>>728923896I still don't get why reddit acts like we live in a vacuum where the only options we have are either shitty gaming chairs or an overpriced $2000 hermen jewler chair.Any reasonably priced generic office chair will give you the same long session comfort but NOOO BROO YOU HAVE TO CONSOOM THE $2000 CHAIR DUDE
>>728927637Lots of them? Do you know how jobs work?
>>728927889name one
>>728927935>lol
>>728927889because a used HM/steelcase chair will last longer and be more comfortable than a chink chair for the same price. the trick is to buy a used one in good condition at good price
>>728927714You don't, it's useless.Even when reclining you won't use it 90% of the time
>>728927943That's the thing, you don't have to get a name brand.Go to your online store of choice, search "office chair", and get whatever chair with the fabric type and adjustments you want.>>728928005You fell for the reddit shilling.t. using hm chair at work and a no name chinkshit chair at home and the difference is negligible and subjective
>>728923896i think i've seen this thread of yours like 4-5 times now, it's ok to be poor, not everyone can afford the best
>>728923896Good. Suffering builds character.
Just sit straightHumans evolved to sit like this in front of a computer desk for 8 hours mon-fri
I have a €200 chair at home, I use a €1400 chair at work and I can definitely feel the difference
>>728924614are you 30yo russian guy?
I have a Leap at work and a Leap at home.You don't need to pay 2K, you can find perfectly good used/refurb'd chairs for 60% off sticker.
>>728927637recruiters are stalking your github RIGHT NOW.
>>728927889Generic office chairs are garbage.1500$ ergo chairs may be tax writeoffs for manager good boy points, but generic office chairs are just humiliation rituals.>>728927621Headrest just feels like it gets in the way.
>>728928859this is true, but the autistic neets that would get jobs because of their dumb projects have gotten them already. it won't be getting any easier in the future
>>728923896You're sitting in it wrong.
>>728928791based leapmaxxer. used a second hand one for like 8 years. "upgraded" to a brand new homo miller aeron and it sucks. Its like it wants you to keep your legs together and overheat your balls reducing tesosterone. leap is one of the rare chairs that doesnt concave laterally which literally saps a mans energy. id rather a flat wooden chair than that shit
>>728923896Golem get ye gone!
>>728923896Start doing exercises, it hurts because it's weak
i have an awful chair used for like conferences and i am trying to study in it and my backs hurts so much
>>728929005You might have gotten the wrong size if your legs are forced uncomfortably together, that chair does force them together but not that much.
>>728927943Not that anon but I bought a haworth soji for like $450 new from their website and it's great. Can't tell how it compares to Herman Miller or the other chairs since I never sat in one, but I am never uncomfortable sitting in it and I sit it in a lot. It's a very firm, supportive chair but not like hard or uncomfortable.
>>728923896I've had one for 7 years now, it's very comfortable and the small amount of back pain I used to have before I bought it is now completely gone.My previous chair was a complete piece of shit though so YMMV
I just bought a new ergonomic chair for 500 jewros that was 20% off. Currently coping that the strain it makes me feel is because it's fixing my fucked up spine by making me sit right. Gonna be a bit salty if it doesn't go away and turns out the chair is just shit.
>>728931454wow you're handsome anon
>>728923896Not worth a full price but I've got mine from some guy who sells used office crap and it was less than $200.
No one can convince me ergonomics is real.Chronic pain is 90% genetics, 9% strength/endurance, 1% posture. Prevention is 50% keeping your tissue warmed up (movement throughout the day), blood flowing, stretched, 50% strength training and zero fucking percent herman shiller.
if you dont intend to get a new chair get a low back cushion or something similar and lodge it in the back on the seat
maybe i should take the cushion off
Anyone else just use a sofa instead?
The reason why “gaming chairs” are fucking retarded bucket seats is because during the tuner/ricer craze in the early 2000s some fucker got stuck holding the bag, when that short lived fad ended, with all these bucket seats and decided to offload them (sometimes for free) to a bunch of gaming cafes in Korea and China. From there that’s where it garnered the gaming association, “pros” then wanted a setup to what they were used to.So all these dumb zoomoid retards sitting in a seat designed for a Honda civic instead of a seat designed for sitting at a desk are basically larping as some gook or chink playing some shitty mmo in a gaming cafe.
>mfw my only hobbies are hiking and gaming so I never have to worry about a fucked up back
>>728923896>he fell for the herman memer chairI bought this chair for 880 Aud. When it usually retails for 2300 aud. The Aeron 2,400 aud. And the price of the Embody is obviously significantly higher. Whilst i was lucky on my deal i still would have probably bought it at the same price as the Aeron. What you fell for was the marketing gimmicks out of the chair industry that insists that if you don't want a shitty gaming chair then you have to get Herman Millers uncomfortable pieces of shit ergonomic chairs. Or The Steelcase leap v2 for that matter. All of them feel very uncomfortable to sit in because they don't have any thick soft cushioning. Hell if you sit in an Embody the wrong way it will guaranteed hurt your lower back. Much like the Aeron it has an issue. The Aerons issue is the seat. The Embody is the backrest lumbar region and the prongs in the pixelated node design and they will inevitably dig into your back. In my chair the lumbar cannot ever hurt you because it's padded with thick memory foam. You NEVER get tired of sitting in this chair. Herman Memer marketers are lying because they all feel uncomfortable by a specific point. What's more is that Herman Millers marketing shills lie that no chairs are built better than theirs. I've seen people report 10 to upwards of 20 years sometimes on this specific chair. What's worse is that Herman Miller are such a stubborn company that they can't even add headrests into the package.
>polyester furniturebe gone plebs
I like my Monstertech seatit's done pretty good after 5 years and five movesEven modded a usb hub in it
If you want to play the computer chair buying game on hard mode: Be a guitar player and try to find one that allows you to move the arm rests out of the way
>>728932352>having to add a cushion to your chairI'm always lmaoing at the dumb retards on reddit that tricked themselves into buying something uncomfortable and then they just end up modding their chairs. I knew from picture alone that the Aeron's seat pan was uncomfortable. I knew from picture alone that the Embody's backrest was shit and uncomfortable. But i did go in store to confirm my suspicions before inevitably buying the chair that i actually wanted. Yet the chair never showed up in online influencer videos (the reality is that you have to spend time in an office to become acquainted with the high end) The chair 'experts' online are all pseudo experts. I'm sorry but their patented 'harmonic tilt' is a gimmick. The chairs just straight up suck.
>>728923896Back pain is a symptom of weak back muscles. Sitting all day weakens back muscles from disuse. Do back bridges, planks, row variations, hindu pushup, cobra pose etc. Once you sufficiently strengthen your back you will have no back pain and all of your other strength training will benefit.

>>728934275holy fug i'm jelly
>>728934275How quickly can you attach/detach your flight sim kit from that? I don't really have the room to build a full profile rig but the effort of setting up all my desk mounts and readjusting my current chair to a comfortable position is the main reason I don't use my kit as often as I'd like these days.
>>728923896
I've used Aeron's in offices for 20 years, which is why at home I have a Steelcase Gesture. People sleep on how utterly critical armrest adjustments are to a chair being long term comfortable. And seat depth adjustment is an absolute must have.
>>728935463Takes me about two minutes. The throttle and stick I side mount and come off with two twist-knobs each, and I hook pedals into the wheels using a little catch plate. The panel is just a twist knob on the desk.I have limited room space so I stow this stuff when not in use. I mostly got the chair because of that feature and it doesn't fuck my shoulders like a bucket chair, but you can just get the mounts on any chair if you like.
>>728935463I cut a steel plate to size and matched the existing holes on the underside to attach it, then put a USB hub under there. Throttle and stick run off one breakaway running to my PC.The whole plate is removable with two bolts for cleaning/fixing and it lets me swap different peripherals in like a collective.
>>728936274Agreed. Back when I decided to buy a new chair, I tried tons of chairs but at the end it boiled down to a choice between the Gesture and the Herman Miller Embody. I liked both of those chairs quite a lot, but as someone who does a lot of work on a drawing tablet, the armrests played a very big role in my decision and I can't imagine going back to any other chair now. They are just that great.
>>728923896>falling for the office chair meme in 2025lmao, a yoga ball would have been much better and wouldn't have raped your wallet
Just ordered myself an executive chair a couple days ago to replace the Markus chair I've been using for over a decade.
>>728925681This but without irony
>>728937523>>728937806Thanks for the reply anon. All the fittings on my current chair are propriety so I doubt their standalone chair mounts would work. The armrests on my current chair are falling apart and as I can't find replacements that will fit l need to get a new chair soon anyway. I'm just torn whether to get one of those chairs or just get a different chair and build myself a small profile rig similar to the stand monstertech sell.The chair itself doesn't seem horrifically expensive compared to other high end office chairs but monstertech charge so much for the plates and other mounting hardware that it all adds up quick.
Coccyx cushions are a game changer. People don't realize how much sitting on a flat cushion fucks up their coccyx. Currently using this onehttps://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0DSFJMWFC?th=1&language=en_GB
>>728924614its funny how these types of chairs get made fun of but why are they so successful? Secretlab made a fortune selling that type of chair.

>>728938612I actually like the yoga ball as occasional variety. Like rotating every hour from standing>sitting>standing>sitting>yoga ball repeat.I tried forcing sitting it in for longer but it just gets uncomfortable and I don't think it's just conditioning. But if I use it sparingly I feel gooood.
>>728923896>he fell for the office chair meme
>>728924278>perfectly normal spine.In fact he said it's the best spine he's ever seen. A tremendous spine. We love my spine, don't we folks?
>>728940448I'm sure the racer form factor plays a role but I believe it's the headrest and the deep lean back that are very popular. Ergo chairs in general don't offer the deep lean back and the headrest is often not advertised, if it exists at all or it some addon, sometimes you even have to get it third party. Racer chairs put a lot of emphasis on those.Now whether that is sometimes the consumer truly needs is debatable.
>>728926591I just don't know what it is with chinese people where they spend the money and effort to getting 98% of the way to making a real product and then they do something so stupidly evil in the design that will obviously make the product deadly to some number of people around the world and we just go along with it, like yeah, that's just what chinese people do.
why are all chairs made of polyester dudedo i have to get a vintage leather chair or something
>>728942893you can get pretty much any high-end upholstered chair in leather, but you're looking at 20-30% higher cost.If you're going the leather route, make sure it's not bullshit "top grain" or "split grain" leather, which will just feel like vinyl as its usually of very low quality and coated, meaning you lose the whole point of leather to begin with.
>>728944042leather doesn't sound great, I can't imagine it wouldn't become unbearably warm during summer. Is there no natural option for something more similar to mesh?
>>728940448It's mostly marketing to kids, they see top-level esports players in whatever game is popular among them sitting in those chairs and they want it for themselves.
>>728923938why did this get deleted
my gooning chair is still going strong after 15 years.
>>728940021Yeah, I was fortunate enough to that a buddy sent me half the dosh, the rest I put together over the years. Chair is comfy, fully adjustable in backrest, how far forward/back seat is, armrests, you can even set the pressure on the back. The -gas- lift is a bit fucky and mine keeps lowering itself but it's held together fantastically despite moving house repeatedley and a lot of us. Shit's handmade in Germany so it was pretty robust. I also cut a slot out in the armrest so it can be removed with the adjustment lever since it's easier to use a collective without the left one.The throttle on the left weighs about 6-7kg combined with the plate so the mount holders are hefty fuckers. As for MT, their prices are fucking absurd then you get tax/import duty but their customer support answered every retard question I ever had. Kinda wish they had something for mounting a driving wheel for ETS2 but c'est la.Last photo, custom made ejection handle using a surplus RAF Martin-baker cord, 3d print shell and a raspberry pi my kraut buddy made. Windows thinks it's a joystick so it can be programmed into games, just pull up and bail out. Sadly the 3d print parts sheared in half from the stresses, but the neat part is the pin in the centre stopped it working unless removed, and some rare-earth held it from nudging.Shit, flight autism is expensive.
>>728945120it wasnt worthy
